I HATE THE NCLEX-RN EXAM and its godly creators! And I think whoever implemented it is/are just sick(s) ! So that equals to "sick wanna-be gods"
It doesn't make ANY (just for the pervert sake of using the so-much-hated nclex-style bold key words that to me are not key at all!) sense that I have studied for the BSN, did great while at it and now a so-called "authority" is preventing me from working! That's sick and stupid! And then we hear things such as "oh but they are not testing your knowledge. They want to measure your critical thinking abilities". Oh please shut up! I had enough of all this crap! The world is collapsing, spilling water (ie. blood) from every possible "corner", people are dying because of the economy (suicide, murder, famine) and we are here sitting in front of a Bill Gate's or Steve Job's precious goblet to sing about what's critical????? Get up people!
If I did not pass the NCLEX-RN the second time it just means it's full of ****! And the threads about it just prove it! Thousands of people panicking and going ballistic after the exam having no-clue, no idea in the world whatsoever (!!!) if they passed or failed or just lived a dream with the connotations of a nightmare (here again having no clue as to what its substantial nature looks like!).
Then you have the morons singing and clapping their hands "I passed, I made it, I am an RN!!!". Well, excuse the **** out of me, mr and mrs RN. You think you weren't an RN already before taking the test? You needed a test to tell you that you are an RN? Oh sorry, you were just a N without a R. A simple Nurse in other words! Sorry we cannot be Nurses! So just don't let the public call us Nurses! It's an offense to all those who implemented the test! Where's their role in all this? They MUST get a percentage! And what a high one, by the way! I spent hundreds of dollars on this and I hope that whomever got my money will use it on medicines! Not kidding!
And no, I don't need nursing interventions to manage anger and lividness! I am as calm as the sick ones that implemented the test and said, "oh by the way, let's raise the passing standard again!"
Not to nitpick, but the word "godly" is a positive adjective, not a negative one. It is used to denote good things, like righteousness, compassion, holiness, and faithfulness. You're looking for something else, like the phrase "God complex," which is truly negative.
It is a positive adjective, but when used sarcastically, not grammatically, which is what the OP did, it can be perverted into a negative.
Hey - cut this RN a break! Anyone who has survived nursing school know's what she is talking about! You think she is ramped up - she deserves to be. She (I am assuming it is a she) got good enough grades to graduate and we have all been there with the 'critical thinking" questions that make absolutely no sense. We have 4 choices for an answer one is usually obviously wrong and the other 3 could be justified if it weren't for "critical thinking" give us a chance to get out into the working world and let's see how well we all critically think. Just because she is ticked and is passionate enough to show it on here doesn't mean she would have a terrible bed side manner. I think it means she cares.[/quote']
Dunno why. At my school, you had to make an 850 or above on your HESI just to move onto the next class. And the people who didn't make that were the ones who weren't safe, imo. At first I thought it was harsh, but then I looked at who I wouldn't want taking care of me, and the results sort of correlated. Plus, the subjects I got under a 1000 on, were ones I went back and studied. It helps you, I think.
They got rid of the HESI at my school a few years ago. We don't use it for entrance exam and we don't use it for exit, either. Instead, we have a proctored ATI assessment at the end of the semesters, which the school feels is more beneficial since it's less stress inducing than something like the HESI. The ATI doesn't make or break you, it's simply an assessment of your knowledge of materials at the end of each semester, and prior to moving on to the next semester, any areas where you were weak, you have to do a remediation.

A couple of things I feel the need to point out: First, the OP is NOT an RN until he/she passes the NCLEX RN. Second, it is clear from perusing many threads on here that not all nursing schools prepare their students to the same standards. Some schools graduate students who are ill prepared to pass NCLEX OR function as a nurse even with in depth orientation. We need a standardized test to serve a gateway to practice otherwise people who attended less than stellar schools or just scraped by will end up caring for patients when they are not equipped to do so safely.

Somebody with a brain, at last! Gosh! I thought what I had written was so simple to understand! Apparently it was more difficult than passing the NCLEX-RN!!! I am sure they are not perfect despite their subtle disgusting disputes. You're out there to take care of people not to praise yourselves RNs. Get over it! You're childish!

Turn the TV off! It's proven to affect neurons in the long run.

This is the most uncalled for and rude post. You are NOT a nurse. Clearly YOU are your problem because 90% of people pass this the first time. You are angry because you failed but that doesn't mean you are correct. Profanity is also unnecessary and "childish"
